And we are back folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb. Mr. I rewind, tribe on the other side and joining us as he does every single Monday, top of the 9 o'clock hour from M Live, our good friend Sam Jane. Sam, good morning. How are you? Good morning, Sam, doing well. hope you're doing good on this fine Monday.

Yeah, I am, my friend, and always glad to catch up with you.

And we talked about it a little bit in the last segment, at least the last one before, Scott Bell.

And that is the NBA.

The action picks back up tonight for the Detroit Pistons who hold a two one series lead.

But the calves got up off the mat over the weekend.

And James Harden didn't look old and decrepit in this contest.

It wound up being efficient, whereas Cade wasn't in that game, and the result ultimately

for the Pistons was a loss. Yeah, game three. I think if you're a Pistons fan, obviously, you feel

like that game was there for the taking at the end. I mean, cut down a 17-point deficit to take a lead in the fourth quarter.

It felt like they played really well in that second half.

But ultimately, you know, the cast have all-stars, James Hardin, for as bad as he looked

in the first two games, made some key plays down the stretch.

Part of me thinks that was a coaching mistake on the

Pistons part. We can talk about that. But I also feel like if you walk away from that game,

while you would have obviously hoped to have won a game that you came all the way back from,

you still didn't play great and you lost by, you know, single digits.

So I feel pretty optimistic heading into game three.

I think that the Pistons are in a really good spot.

And we'll see if they can, you know, do what Cleveland couldn't and split the series on

the road.

Yeah, I think it's a great point.
